It will get mentioned, but companions and npc will either not know what happened there or dodge any questions regarding the fate of the Milky Way.

[pkypereira]

I'm hoping there is a mention of the Milky Way, at least in the Codex. Maybe they could come out with a DLC that features in your choices in a previous playthrough and let you see what happened after the Reaper War.

Eaware is abandoning the original trilogy and all the toxic controversy with it.

 

Deal with it.

It can't possibly have anything to do with folks with your kind of attitude?!

[Jewellzify]

I think the MW will be discussed in NPC conversations that you can listen to or in codex entries. As Michael Gamble has said on many occasions on Twitter, a canon ending is not going to be chosen and our ending and choices will matter. I don't think we'll be able to travel to the MW, but I'm sure it will be side NPC discussions about what happened along with possible codex entries.

If they are abandoning the Milky Way out of spite over people hating their endings, they've reached a level of douchebaggery not even Steve Jobs could ever have ever hoped to sink down to even if his karmic cancer hadn't liberated the world from his asshat existence.

Screw the galaxy what about the chocolate bar? 

[Gothfather]

It seems to focus mainly on the Andromeda galaxy and not mention the Milky Way. Which would be disappointing to me.

Hopefully the milky way will NOT be reference at all. There are plenty of fans who do not need any ties to the milky way to enjoy the game.

Dragon Age Inquisition was one of the worst games I've played I hope they take what they learned from that game and make it nothing like that.

 

lol And Dragon age Inquisition is one of the best games I have played. i hope they take what the learned from that game and make other games very much like it.

 

Subjective opinion means nothing. Both your original statement and my honest reply above are meaningless. Some people like strawberries other people prefer raspberries, there is no right or wrong answer. Bioware therefore should make the game THEY want to and if they make a game you don't like don't buy it and likewise if they make a game i don't like i wont buy it. I don't like star wars battlefront, I wont be getting it. I don't think EA made a terrible game, it just didn't strike me as enjoyable the 5 hours I tried during the beta. But i am sure there will be LOTS of people who will love the game and have already pre-ordered it.

The milky way is a myth told by grannies to make kids behave.

[PlatonicWaffles]

Most likely not because BioWare seems to be too scared to even touch the Milky Way again after the 3 endings vomited all over it.

[The Night Haunter]

I'm worried about the context. Like will it be mentioned in a way that alludes to how the Milky Way Galaxy is after the events of ME3, or is the Ark Theory true where the colonists have no idea what happened to the Milky Way.

Considering ME:ANDROMEDA is moving all the way to Andromeda just to get away from the ME3 ending shenanigans I'm about 99% sure no-one will mention or know what happened after the Crucible fired in the Milky Way. The Ark will almost certainly have either left prior to the Crucible Event, or Bioware will do something along the lines of :

1) Crucible Fires, all Mass Relays are disabled / damaged / destroyed

2) A small Cluster of planets with various species (manly humans) is unaware of the events on Earth because the Relay network is inoperable at the moment. They decide fleeing to Andromeda is the safest bet, and over the next 20 years create the Ark and go.

3) 2 Minutes after that the Relay Network is brought back up (as we see in some ME3 endings) and the news goes throughout the Milky Way 'The Reapers are Dead, Shepard has transcended into a God-like being of pure light, the Milky Way shall exist in peace and prosperity forever more!', however the Ark missed it and continues on to Andromeda.

 

Pretty much the only Milky Way that will be mentioned in MEA is Pre-Crucible and potentially some post-crucible with the caveat that there is no actual knowledge of the Crucible events and what is going on in the rest of the galaxy.

That gave me diabetes.

I think it's necessity more than spite.  I just find it rich that on one hand they are oh-so-proud of their "artistic" endings even as it leaves the setting so trashed we have to travel two and a half million light years away to find a new one.

[DoomsdayDevice]

I'm hoping the characters in ME:A know what happens to the Milky Way after the events of Mass Effect 3. I really would have loved to see the Milky Way after the events of ME3.

Don't count on it. It's pretty obvious they're moving the franchise to another galaxy because they don't want to deal with the aftermath of the endings. If they were going to, there would be no reason to move to Andromeda.

[AtreiyaN7]

Oh hey, it's this thread again for the ten millionth time!

 

The fact that the name of the next game is "Mass Effect: Andromeda" probably should have clued anyone who is fixated on staying in the Milky Way that the game will have nothing to do with the Milky Way - short of some possible references to it and maybe being shown the journey from the Milky Way to Andromeda. For those people who can't sever the umbilical cord that seems to be tying them to the Milky Way, they should probably just go replay the ME trilogy forever since they can't survive the horror and disappointment of going someplace new.

 

I mean, gee whiz, I never understood this until I met the "WE HAVE TO STAY IN THE MILKY WAY FOREVER! *RAGE/CRY*" people, but apparently, the whole point of space exploration is ACTUALLY to stay home and to never go anywhere new, to never see anything new, and to never, ever do anything new! My eyes have been opened!!!!! *sarcasm x infinity + whipped cream, nuts and a giant sarcasm cherry on top*

 

Since this might still require a sarcasm translation for the sarcasm-impaired: I think the whole point and the excitement of space exploration IS to go somewhere new, no matter how far from home (or your home galaxy) it might take you. I have always taken a more "To boldly go where no man has gone before" and "to seek out new life and new civilizations" approach thanks to Star Trek.

I feel somewhat saddened that there's no Arishok No techno remix. Sebastian got one and he sucks.

That has already been made. It was called "Battlestar Galactica", & its prequel, "Caprica".

I'm hoping the characters in ME:A know what happens to the Milky Way after the events of Mass Effect 3. I really would have loved to see the Milky Way after the events of ME3.

 

I sincerely hope that the characters in ME:A have no idea what happened in the Milky Way. If they did, then Bioware would have to canonize one of the endings, and just the mention of the ending options for ME3 creates an almost visceral negative reaction in me - and I'm clearly not the only one. I'd much rather they'd distance themselves as far as humanly possible from that train wreck. Have the Andromeda-expedition/colony ship/whatever leave the Milkyway before the final confrontation with the reapers. 

 

Should they do something so horrible as to canonize the synthesis ending, that would actually end my interest in the series. That's the worst case scenario. 

 

If they do refer to the defeat of the reapers, then my fondest hope would be that they canonize a total left-field alternative to the endings: the events at the Citadel were the last hallucinatory dreams of a dying Shepard, who had managed to trigger whatever mechanism was needed for the Crucible to work. The reapers were weakened or seriously damaged by the weapon, and mopped up by a conventional war effort.

 

I suspect that a big part of the reason they have the setting of the new game in Andromeda is to not have to canonize an ME3 ending, thus re-igniting the hate, so frankly I would be surprised if they refer to the Milkyway as it was after the events of ME3.

OK, but what if they're abandoning the Milky Way as a way to be nice to the people who've been whining for years about the endings?

As one of the people who've been "whining for years about the endings", abandoning the Milky Way has been the single most insulting thing they've done since shipping ME3 with that ****ing ending. They have basically sacrificed the entire galaxy and every iconic place, every iconic plot, every single iconic goddamn thing in it that made the trilogy so good, just to avoid having to take a stance on the endings. This goes lights years over and beyond artistic integrity, this is a certain someone's *coughsupermaccough* ego telling the ending-critical part of the fanbase to go copulate with themselves for even suggesting the ending wasn't a masterpiece to end all masterpieces.

[Ahglock]

Artistic integrity never had much buying power with me when every female introduced since ME2 dressed in a catsuit or less. And before people assume this is based on prudishness or whatever it's not. It's because artistic integrity would be making the looks of the character reflect the character and the story even if it wasn't an attractive look. Jack wearing straps into combat doesn't fit her character.

I wish they would canonize the least popular ending but have it go horribly wrong and the ark is people fleeing that choice who avoided it thanks to a downed relay.

I fail to see how this is "being nice" to anyone.  This is a mess of their own making.
